In a recent interview with Midlands Metalheads Radio, Mr. Big vocalist Eric Martin discussed the band's upcoming tour, which he feels will / should be the band's last tour in the wake of drummer Pat Torpey's death.

Martin: "I'm pretty sure that this is going to be our last tour ever. We're touring in June and July, and then we're going to take a couple weeks off, and then we're going to tour from July all the way until 2020, around January maybe, and call it a day. My big dream is, I'd love (former guitarist) Richie (Kotzen) to open for us so we can kind of play together. I'd like to go out with a big bang."

Founding Mr. Big drummer Pat Torpey passed away on Wednesday, February 7th at the age of 64 from complications due to Parkinson’s disease.

Mr. Big's Live From Milan was released in July on 2CD+Blu-Ray Combo Pack, 3xLP, and MP3 (audio only). Order here.

Following the release of their 2017 album Defying Gravity, Mr. Big set out on a trek that took them all over the world to promote the new release in a live setting. Anyone who has ever had the distinct pleasure of seeing the band live knows that the virtuoso musicianship and incredible vocals are on full display in this setting. By this time, drummer Pat Torpey's battle with Parkinson's Disease had been made public, but Pat toured with the band regardless and sat behind the drum kit for select songs, while also providing background vocals and percussion on other tracks when Matt Starr was taking his turn on the kit. Captured at a stop in Milan, IT, Live From Milan has a tracklisting that will surely satisfy long-time and newer fans of the band, and of course contains bass and guitar solos from the always entertaining and awe inspiring Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert, respectively. Sadly, this would be one of Pat Torpey's last performances with the band as he passed away from complications due to Parkinson's in early 2018.

The set captures a special moment in time for the band and also serves as a "greatest hits" of sorts as they hit on all their classic songs from the early albums as well as revered material from newer releases.

"The gig was packed, really no room to breathe and it was steaming hot in there but the energy and vibe that I was feeling from the guys in the band was that we were going to lean into it...ha I know that sounds cliché coming from me but it was true , there was no holding back . I've seen the video of this concert dozens of times now and it's us... hard and heavy and still kicking out the jams," says frontman Eric Martin.
